I believe no. i am a Minecraft pro on the PC version but i don't you need it. maybe for multiplayer. and minecraft is better on the pc.
No.
Well it depends. On minecraft u can live a virtual life and play with Other ppl with a server. On Xbox Live u can Play with other ppl and talk to them at the same time. My opinion is Xbox live.
no.
you dont have to be online, but you wont be able to play with others (if you have gold)
Yes, you need to be on live to use the Game Marketplace in order to buy Minecraft.
An Xbox 360, and enough points to buy it on the store.
The only way you can be in multiplayer you have to get xbox live account then you have to get xbox gold for it (-you have to buy it) after you get xbox live you can add your friends but they have to have xbox live and xbox gold to play with you.
To originally purchase Minecraft yes, but from then on it can be run without Live!
minecraft is played on PC, Mac and Linux but can soon be played on xbox live arcade
Minecraft came out in 2011 for the PC, Mac, Android, and iOS systems. It came out on Xbox Live in 2012 and on a disc for Xbox in 2013. When the Xbox One is released, Minecraft will be released for play on it.
